I don't think it's just a case of something that was just widely thought of as charming but more of something that had been reproduced further, in the case of Csf at the time (2016/2017) it was not the wonky stitching that was the charm, it was the capturing of character and spirit that had risen the bar. The use of era specific skills on old sewing machines, materials that were more researched and wonderful denim. Yes the cuts Csf offered and the sizing weren't as well researched, and some of the variations of the original line up were just a bit more than quirky, but no more so than Levis Red or Evisu or some other brands. Again l don't think it's lost its charm because it's been offered more but more likely because we've had quite a few years of it being offered to us, so more like saturation of the market. -
Anyone know of a stockist of the 54 in a 36 x 36? Been out of stock on the Levi’s uk site for a while, in a 36 waist but they have the 36 length. tia -

If I end up grabbing the FC pair, it will be sort of for fun, and because as I said earlier, I quite like the 0105 cut. Since that cut is a modern concoction it fails in the repro aspect already. But then I’ve never really been interested in the actual replica angle. To my mind there are simply too many variables one can poke holes in and it misses appreciating the thing on its own terms. To get quasi academic for a second, I like to think of Place as a sort of intersection of time and space. Place can never be recreated because of the time aspect, even if the physical space is the same. So the place that made a thing is gone - this is enough for me to let go of the idea of a repro, full stop. Sure you can try to get closer, but the Place that made it is gone. This is freedom. I also used to love perfect stitching and while I still do, I also know that it makes really no practical difference for me. Actually, some of my stuff from sugar cane and full count have what seem to be actual factory flaws that I probably would have been irked by were they a cheap Levi’s version if I had bought when I was younger. I don’t care now, and they even become part of the charm - as long as they’re not structural and really do compromise the life or functionality of the garment. I certainly understand the “it’s played out” angle, but, at the same time it’s funny to see something that was widely thought as charming come to not be simply because it’s been offered more - and especially in the realm of pants that any of our spouses or if not then certainly friends and neighbors would probably say all basically look the same. -
